15 or so medium sized brussel sprouts, raw, shaved with mandolin slicer

2 large crisp apple, thinly julienned with mandolin slicer

blue cheese crumbles

lemon pecan vinaigrette

1/2 cup pecan halves

2 tbsp maple syrup

2 tbsp chopped shallot

3/4 up olive oil

1/2 cup water (to thin) or you can use chicken stock for extra flavor!!

salt + pepper

blend everything together until smooth. Usually I add around 1/2 tsp of salt and then taste and see if it needs more. If it’s not a WOW, it needs a bit more salt
